Lent Food: Plataninas

Basically, plataninas are green platano/plantains chips. Plantains are like bananas, but much bigger and with a unique flavor. Guatemalans eat platanos in many forms, such as plataninas, rellenitos (deep-fried stuffed platains balls), fritos (fried), atol de platano, chairbroiled and baked; just to name a few.

For this entire series, I decided to go as early as possible to catch many of the food vendors in the process of preparing the food or getting ready for a full day.

Felicitaciones! This site is incredible. I don't know how you've kept up the energy for three years, but I am so glad that you have. I help to administer an online discussion group and I know how frustrating it can be to have many people view but few people who post comments. I sense a little discouragement in your reflections today. It's understandable, but I hope it's temporary. I know *many* people whom I have sent to this site who view it and are amazed by it -- they just don't post comments here. Your "most viewed" numbers say a lot about how many people value this site... —Stephanie
